The OTT Opportunity: How to Partner for Profit

The OTT Opportunity: How to Partner for Profit

Far from a threat to the traditional cable ecosystem, over-the-top services are fast becoming allies in the battle for consumer eyeballs. While it remains a challenge to balance consumer demand for OTT with traditional media business models, OTT content players and third-party device makers like TiVo and Roku are increasingly reaching out to cable operators and programmers. It’s all about partnerships and win-win deals.

But what does that look like? How do players that seem to compete for the same audience figure out ways to cooperate? Put simply, both sides now realize their own strengths and weaknesses—and understand the power of integrating what they do best to grow the entire video content universe.

In this intensive webinar, you’ll learn how to:

Integrate cable and OTT content into single devices, giving consumers the best of both worlds.

Understand consumers’ viewing habits and how OTT can improve the content discovery and navigation experience.

Use OTT partnerships to lower customer churn and head off cord cutters.

Evolve payment systems to be more personal and flexible, increasing revenue opportunities.

Join as we discuss these issues and get your questions answered during this must-attend Cablefax webinar!

How Does the Webinar Work?

The live audio is delivered to your location over the telephone or your computer speakers. The Power-Point presentations are presented over the Internet and are available to print out before the program. This is like a talk-radio program with visuals on the Web. You and your team will be able to have a live Q&A with all the speakers.

You need Real Player 10, Adobe Flash Player 9 or Windows Media Player 9 installed on your computer. If you do not have either, please follow the instructions below to download and install them. Or if you prefer, a phone for the audio and an Internet connection to let you watch the slides and other information on the Web will suffice. No other downloads or special hardware – a dial-up connection will work fine.

For desktop users who do not have Adobe Flash Player or Windows Media Player, a touch-tone telephone will work also. It works best to use a speakerphone so that others can listen too.
